SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:14
Andad, y clamad a los dioses que os habéis elegido, que os libren en el tiempo de vuestra aflicción.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen , etc.] For they were their choice, and not what they were obliged to serve through persecution, and by compulsion of others, and whom they needed not, having the Lord Jehovah to be their God; and they are bid not seriously, but in an ironical or sarcastic way, to call upon them for help in this their time of distress, in whose power it was not to relieve them: let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation ; if they can, whom you have served in your prosperity.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-18 - God is able to multiply men's punishments according to the numbers of their sins and idols. But there is hope when sinners cry to the Lor for help, and lament their ungodliness as well as their more ope transgressions. It is necessary, in true repentance, that there be full conviction that those things cannot help us which we have set in competition with God. They acknowledged what they deserved, yet praye to God not to deal with them according to their deserts. We must submi to God's justice, with a hope in his mercy. True repentance is not onl for sin, but from sin. As the disobedience and misery of a child are grief to a tender father, so the provocations of God's people are grief to him. From him mercy never can be sought in vain. Let then the trembling sinner, and the almost despairing backslider, cease from debating about God's secret purposes, or from expecting to find hop from former experiences. Let them cast themselves on the mercy of God our Saviour, humble themselves under his hand, seek deliverance from the powers of darkness, separate themselves from sin, and from occasions of it, use the means of grace diligently, and wait the Lord' time, and so they shall certainly rejoice in his mercy __________________________________________________________________
